The Sea Witch, also known as the "Copper 1948", was a historic American sailing ship built in 1846. It was designed as a clipper ship, a type of vessel known for its speed and elegance. The Sea Witch was constructed in New York City by Smith & Dimon Shipyard. The ship was primarily used for trade between the United States and China, carrying tea and other goods. It quickly gained a reputation for its speed, beating many other ships in races and setting multiple records for fastest voyages. One of its notable voyages was in 1849 when it completed a journey from New York to Canton, China in just over 74 days, a record-breaking achievement at the time.
The list is arranged alphabetically by author. The title of the edition series (if any) and the names of series editors follow the author’s name. The name of the edition publisher is then listed. Following those names is a list of published and forthcoming volumes that have been approved, with the date of publication or, in the case of forthcoming volumes, the date of approval.
The era of the clipper ships ended when they were rolled out in favour of more modern and advanced iron-hulled ships, with greater cargo-carrying capacity, as now commodities were required in bulk. After an edition is inspected by a committee representative and found to conform to professional standards, it receives a seal of approval from the committee.
One of its notable voyages was in 1849 when it completed a journey from New York to Canton, China in just over 74 days, a record-breaking achievement at the time. The Sea Witch's speed was attributed to its sleek design, advanced rigging system, and the skill of its crew. The Sea Witch was not only known for its speed but also for its appearance.

It had a copper-clad hull, which was a unique feature during that time. The copper plating helped protect the ship's wooden walls from damage caused by marine organisms like barnacles and teredos. Unfortunately, the Sea Witch's career was short-lived. In 1851, the ship was lost at sea during a voyage from Hong Kong to New York. The exact cause of its demise remains unknown, with speculations of either being sunk by a typhoon or a collision with a whale. None of the crew survived the tragedy. Despite its untimely end, the Sea Witch left a lasting impact on the world of sailing. It set new standards for shipbuilding, showcasing the importance of speed and efficiency in maritime trade. The ship's exceptional performance in races and record-breaking voyages solidified its place in nautical history, earning it the nickname "Copper 1948". Today, the legacy of the Sea Witch lives on through historical records and maritime enthusiasts who still admire its remarkable achievements..
